Arthur Purdy Stout

After spending a year abroad, Arthur entered the College of Physicians & Surgeons (CPS) of Columbia University.

[1][2] Stout was a surgical house-officer at Roosevelt Hospital in New York City; he then joined the staff of CPS in 1914 as an instructor in surgery.

His colleagues included several prominent physicians and scientists, such as Virginia Kneeland Frantz, Cushman Haagensen, Saul Kay, Robert Totten, Margaret Ransone Murray, and Raffaele Lattes, who succeeded Stout as director of the laboratory.

In 1947, an organization of surgical pathologists was named the "Arthur Purdy Stout Club" in his honor.

[11] He remained a Professor Emeritus of Surgery at Columbia and a Consulting Pathologist at both Delafield and Presbyterian Hospitals.
